The Volunteer Fireman

The Volunteer firemen are a breed unto them selves.
Whoever heard of a man who is willing to be on twenty-four hour duty without pay for the dubious privilege of protecting his neighbors property.
Whoever heard of a man who is willing to dash from his desk and ride a "fire wagon" to the scene of the alarm ruining his suit, neglecting his business, risking his life and exhausting himself physically, not for money be because he believes in serving his community.
Whoever heard of a man who will give you his favorite TV show, post-pone some reading or "do-it-yourself" home chores he's been planning(plus sacrifing his evening with his wife and children.) just to attend meetings where he learns how to function as a voluntter servant in behlaf of his fellow men.
Whoever ( in day and age) heard of a man who is crazy enough to be worrying about the other fellows.
Well if you don't know that answer to those questions look around out fire house.
You'll see peoples fore-fathers were made of the smae stuff.
You'll see people who arn't out protesting, demonstrating, complaning becuase they're too busy living up to the image of a good American. You'ss see people just like yourself who cares what happens to their neightbors, their community, and their country.
